Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes a stirring novel about a woman striking out on her own after loss as her adult daughters try to find their own independent paths in life.

Kezia Cooper Hobson, recently widowed, arrives in New York from San Francisco.

Determined to make a fresh start, she has just completed the sale of her Pacific Heights home, not to mention her late husband’s venture capital firm, and in doing so is also freed from her responsibility as a board member of the company. Bringing with her only a few
personal treasures, she is excited to move into the blank slate of a beautiful midtown penthouse in the city she has always loved. It is also where her two adult daughters now live.

As Kezia settles into her new apartment, she meets her movie-star next-door neighbor, Sam Stewart, whose terrace borders hers. Just a couple of weeks after she arrives, however, a devastating crisis strikes New York City. Kezia and Sam find themselves connecting over
their strong impulse to help those in need. As they share a life-changing experience of volunteering, a bond is sparked and a friendship is formed.

Kezia’s daughters, Kate and Felicity, both more focused on their own love lives than hers, are taken aback by their mother’s new friendship. But Kezia is learning that the changes she’s making are just what she needs to open new horizons.

In this powerful and moving new novel, Danielle Steel illuminates the importance of human connection and embracing brave change, proving it’s never too late for a brand-new start.

Goodreads review by Megan on August 02, 2023

I liked this book. I liked the characters and the family dynamics between the mom and the daughters and Sam and his son. I do think at times Kezia was comparing Kate and Felicity a little too much. The reason for the three stars was the traumatic event that the author wrote into the book. I didn’t l......more

Goodreads review by Bonnie on March 24, 2024

This one never came completely together for me. There is too much telling and not enough showing, which I know is common for Steel's novels, but did not work here.

Goodreads review by Sherri on December 03, 2023

Never Too Late is book #51 I’ve read by Danielle Steel. On July 4th, a horrible attack happens in NYC - worse than 911 and I can’t imagine anything worse than that. Danielle Steels latest book tells her story and it kept me intrigued until the very last page. I loved the characters and despite the h......more

Goodreads review by Terry on March 06, 2024

I liked this one, but I’ve noticed that Danielle Steel’s books are getting much shorter and a little too contrite. Everything wrapped up so quickly without much depth or plot development. However, it’s always good for a quick fantasy or escape.......more
